bombed runway

The 109, is also a worthy opponent but unlike the A6M, i think sense it has a solid heavy/strong landing gears, it should be able to go over the bumpy broken concrete without a problem except the fact that the pilot would have his ATF spin him out of control.

I heard a staggering number watching a show on the 109 a while ago. If I remember right...it said 2/3ds of the 109s produced were involved in some type of crash on take off or landing. The 109's landing gear gave it a real narrow wheel base, thus causing it to be unstable on the ground.

It's been here before, it's failed, it's been removed, it will not return.

When a bomb 50lbs and over hits the thick concrete on the runway shouldn't it mess up the going and coming? I'm not saying put the field as disabled for any plane just when you're taking off and you happen to be on the side that has been bombed shouldn't it either screw up your auto take off or your landing gears?

For Ex:
The A6M, a worthy opponent if the pilot knows how to use it. But the gears on these certain planes, like the zero are meant to be light/weak because the plane is at no need for a stronger support. Going over the damaged runway would completely make the gears bend and break.

The 109, is also a worthy opponent but unlike the A6M, i think sense it has a solid heavy/strong landing gears, it should be able to go over the bumpy broken concrete without a problem except the fact that the pilot would have his ATF spin him out of control.

If this was requested and put into the game i'd like to add it to the CV's; there runways are made of wood and a plane cannot go around it, so this would disable planes from taking off and landing in a CV.

Please post why and why not to this idea. I think it would make the game more realistic and maybe a bit harder on one side and a bit easier on the other.

2 Things to say for this one...
#1... SEARCH...

#2 NO! This would be disasterous! I personally enjoy a little bit of a fight, rather than taking a lanc, clearing the runway, pot holing it, and not letting anyone up from the airfield...

This idea = disaster.

     Alot of countries had unimproved strips, particularly early on in the war.  As the war progressed
and aircraft got faster and heavier the advantages of paved runways became blatantly obvious.

Both aircraft that you mention were operated out of rough unfinished fields all through the war.  Just watching the History Channel shows waves of zeros leaving and returning to rough fields, they also operated off of aircraft carriers and gear had to take a beating.  Same for the 109's , most of the airfields they operated off of were dirt or just open fields.
